Hi folk,

As indicated in the title, I have a few questions/remarks related to fonts:

* There are two MathML bugs referring to the XFT library, but I'm 
wondering if they are still relevant, because I think this library is no 
longer used?
   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=237152
   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=255879

* The old MathML Project Page still contains information about fonts, in 
mathml/fonts/char/* and mathml/fonts/encoding/*. But I believe that most 
of it is obsolete and that we can just remove all these files from 
www.mozilla.org? People will still be able to find them on 
http://www-archive.mozilla.org/...
   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=585139
   (BTW, I guess the same applies to mathml/enable.html)
   I also imagine that the related bug on "MathFont Encoding Tables" can 
also be closed?
   https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71408

* I've found a new free mathematical font on www.ctan.org, "Neo Euler" 
which is an OpenType version of the Euler fonts.
   http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/unicode-math/
   (but like Cambria Math, the variant and stretchy symbols are 
non-Unicode glyphs).
   I've just opened a bug for that:
